3 And you shall write Aaron’s name on the rod of Levi. For there shall be one rod for the head of each father’s house.
4 Then you shall place them in the tabernacle of meeting before athe Testimony, bwhere I meet with you.
5 And it shall be that the rod of the man awhom I choose will blossom; thus I will rid Myself of the complaints of the children of Israel, bwhich they make against you.”
6 So Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and each of their leaders gave him a rod apiece, for each leader according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
7 And Moses placed the rods before the Lord in athe tabernacle of witness.
8 Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses went into the tabernacle of witness, and behold, the arod of Aaron, of the house of Levi, had sprouted and put forth buds, had produced blossoms and yielded ripe almonds.
9 Then Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the children of Israel; and they looked, and each man took his rod.
10 And the Lord said to Moses, “Bring aAaron’s rod back before the Testimony, to be kept bas a sign against the rebels, cthat you may put their complaints away from Me, lest they die.”
